Burlington Heights Heritage Lands

The Burlington Heights Heritage Lands are centred on the geologic feature known as the Hamilton Bar, which is a bay mouth bar formed at the end of the last ice age. These lands are also part of Cootes Paradise and Grindstone Creek Escarpment Valley ESAs. Military events with early European settlement of the area and the influence of Thomas McQueston in shaping this entrance to the City of Hamilton are important cultural events associated with this area.
